It is the last episode of 2023 and we are closing on an incredible year. This was one of the best years that I have had at Crystal Media. I had the opportunity to speak at 18 different shows, connected with so many retailers in person and I started this show.  We have had some great conversations.

As the year comes to an end I wanted to take a moment to thank you for being on this journey with me. I share some of the top listener-mentioned episodes as well as the top 5 episodes of the year. I share with you some exciting things that are coming in 2024. And finally, I wrap up with my wishes (yup more than one) for you in 2024.
